Napoleon Dynamite
I saw the funniest movie on Sunday night. Everytime I have thought about a scene since I just crack up. I can't tell any of it without laughing but people who haven't seen it yet I just can't get the funniest across with my lame attempts to quote the movie. There isn't really a plot I can tell you but my cheeks hurt from laughing when I left. I want everyone I know to see it so everyone will know the scenes and be able to laugh with me. Check out a preview.

Here are some pictures from the movie.

Him and his friend Pedro, staking out a cheerleaders house. Pedro was asking her to a dance by leaving a cake on her door.

Him, Pedro, and his loser uncle.

I thought I was going to die...
Sunday I went to Great America. I had been to Six Flags before but not the one up here. The first ride we rode was the Superman. I thought I could handle it, I used to go on them in high school all the time. When I was younger I was scared and then I would do any of the rollercoaster and now I am "rescared"-I know many people including Shelly have told me that this is not a word, however I feel like it applies. All that is holding you in this crazy ride is the chest and ankle locks. I closed my eyes the whole time after briefing looking down during the ascent. I prayed the whole time. When I got off I was all shaky and taking deep breaths. I am glad I did it because I can say I did but I don't have a desire to do it again. The rest of the day was so much fun but that one ride I just envisioned me plumbeting to my death by hitting each of the loops breaking limbs until I felt to the ground. Here is a picture of this evil ride.

I FINALLY GOT A NEW PHONE
After months of my friends bugging me about my old phone ("Are you calling Zach Morris?" "Doesn't that thing weigh your purse down?" "You can't text message me back") I finally went to verizon to renew my contract again and got a camera phone for free! I am pretty excited because I can take a picture of someone and assign it to their phone number so when they call I can see who it is. This is pretty exciting and I know that some of you are excited for me:)

I have a confession that I like to scrapbook my pictures. I have often made fun of the women scrapbooking clubs in my church and to be totally honest will probably continue to do so to some degree but it is kind of fun to see all your pictures displayed. And to clarify I NEVER write lame captions out to the side. That is something I will never bring myself to do. This weekend I actually for once in I don't know how long didn't have a lot of stuff to do, just little things here and there so I actually got out all my pictures and started to try to catch up on my scrapbooking. I am still in October 03. Also to clarify this in no way means that I will be slowly be corrupted to other crafts like painting bunnies on wood cutouts or anything like that.

John Mayer
I just went to the best concert ever last night. I usually don't spend a lot of money on concerts cause I can't afford to sit close enough to see cause I am so short but keith had good tickets and I went ahead a splurged cause I like John so much. It was so worth it. I could see him better than I thought I would and he played all my favorite songs. He was so good. I like him even more now. The guy sitting next to us said he had seen him twice before and this was his best show he has seen. For those of you who know the words to his Comfortable song the usual line is "she could distinguish Miles from Coltrain" and he substituted at the concert "she could distinguish me from Jack Johnson" which was pretty funny.
